Is difficult the word? confusing and ambiguous, perhaps.

Did you know that the King James bible translated two words as abombination. One ment realy grevious while the other just ment not koshier. I think I'll like to point that out.

I was aware that there were rather questionable "translations" from the original language (Hebrew?) in the bible. The one I knew was that virgin was translated from a word that means in Hebrew "woman who has not given birth before." I doubt many people know, though.<br><br><!--QuoteBegin-Salad Man+ 4 Feb 2004, 02:36 PM--> <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' ><tr><td class='quotetop'><b>Quote:</b> (Salad Man @ 4 Feb 2004, 02:36 PM)</td></tr><tr><td class='quotebody'> Lions eating Christians,<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table> <!--QuoteEEnd--><br>Didn't that come from Wierd Al?<br><br>To more on-topic news:<br>I've recently finished both Digital Fortress and Deception Point by Dan Brown.
